he still has so much room for improvement. I think we are in store for something special. I kinda wish they'd lose this series to force LBJ to improve his game drastically.
Possible future roadblocks for the MoHeatOs:
Lakers
Thunder
Wherever Howard re-signs.
Wherever Blake re-signs(not happening with the clips).
Bulls? They'd have to make some fairly big roster changes, they've hamstrung themselves with Korver and Boozer.
Knicks - If Melo learns to play D, Amar'e's knees hold up, they fire D'antoni, get a defensive coach and also grab a few more solid players.
Wherever CP3 re-signs.

LeBron's jumper is silky right now and he has all the confidence in the world shooting it. I haven't seen LBJ be so effective without constantly driving like I saw in Game 1. That 3 pointer at the end of the 3rd was so ridiculous and he made it look so easy. LBJ definetly has a case for MVP. Yes he has some stars around him, but he is the alpha dog on that team. I can't argue against LeBron as MVP any year, he averages like 27PPG, 7Rebounds and 7 assists and plays great defense. The Bulls owe equally as much of their success to Thibodeau. The defense is what made the Bulls so great this year. Unfortunately for them, there's no defense that can stop a guy like LeBron when he's feeling it. I laugh at people who say there's no defense in the NBA.
And I really don't think the Heat are gonna be challenged much over these next handful of years. Thunder are gonna be west powerhouses for a long time and the Lakers will always be the Lakers with Kobe there. BUT they are in the west and the Heat really don't have to worry about them til the finals if they meet up. And the west is like a gauntlet so it's no given, it's not like anyone predicted the Mavs to win the west.
Howard said he is staying in Orlando but he also said he wants a great team built around him. I think he's putting pressure on Orlando do bring in some great talent, and although it was a mistake to brng in Arenas, I do think the Magic have been trying harder than, say the Cavs with LBJ. If he signs somewhere in the east, they'll be a legit roadblock for the Heat. So will the Bulls, they've got Rose and a great defense but they have some holes to fill on the perimeter. It's truly amazng bums like Bogans still have a job. I can't take the Knicks seriously at all... I mean really, who wins championships playing no defense? Amare doesn't play defense and Melo gets lazy. Combined with the least defensive oriented coach on the NBA, they have no chance at a title.

I think it's to promote the discussion. If it was concrete then nobody would be talking about the MVP as much and hyping up the players. It'd be more clear cut who the MVP is if it were defined. I kinda like the way it is to be honest, it's entirely subjective and people have different grounds on why they vote for someone. I still woulda gave it to LeBron this year though. Once again, he's given ridiculous expectations and finds ways to surpass them still.
